About This Home

As of December 2024

Discover unparalleled luxury and sophistication in this magnificent end-unit townhouse, ideally situated in the prestigious Governors Lane community of Princeton. Nestled within minutes of downtown Princeton, premier shopping, and local parks offering scenic trails for hiking, cycling, or tranquil walks, this residence combines serene living with the utmost convenience.

This Adams model boasts over 3,325 square feet of living space, designed to meet the needs of the most discerning homeowner. Featuring 4 expansive bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a fully finished basement, and a two-car garage, this home is a masterpiece of elegance and functionality.
Upon entering, be greeted by stately columns that introduce a formal living room complete with one of three gas fireplaces.

The formal dining room, enhanced with custom wainscoting, has been converted into a spacious home office with French Doors (2016) offering both privacy and flexibility. A pocket door leads to the gourmet kitchen, where granite countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances (updated in 2022), and a sunlit breakfast nook overlook a private, professionally landscaped garden featuring a Bluestone Terrace, and updated traditional  lighting. 

The family room is a showpiece of natural light with cathedral ceilings and newly installed skylights (2022), perfect for gatherings and relaxation. Upstairs, the master suite occupies the entire second floor, offering ultimate privacy with a cozy sitting room (or optional bedroom) and its own gas fireplace. The suite also features his-and-her bathrooms—one with a luxurious steam shower and the other with a soaking tub—plus generous closet space and an in-suite laundry room.
Two additional bedrooms on the third floor share a beautifully appointed, bright bathroom, providing comfort for family members or guests. Additional features include a new roof (2022), updated HVAC and water heater (2017), and a state-of-the-art Bose surround sound system throughout the home. 

This townhouse is located in one of Princeton's most coveted communities, offering quiet, tree-lined streets and proximity to the area's top-rated schools, Princeton University, and a host of fine dining and cultural amenities. Residents enjoy ample guest parking, easy access to major transportation routes, and the convenience of nearby parks for outdoor recreation.

This extraordinary home provides the ultimate combination of sophisticated living, modern conveniences, and a prime location in the heart of Princeton. With smart home upgrades, luxury finishes, and a pristine garden retreat, it is an opportunity not to be missed for those seeking the finest in upscale living.
